THE POWER OF GOD

I must admit I had forgotten...

How "God's Love" was truly rotten...

I let it slide and tried to doubt it...

But former Baptist screamed to shout it:

 

The power of God

is the power of fear!

 

The power to hurt

those that should be held dear!

 

The power to split those in two

who are odd!

 

Prejudice is the power of God!

 

The power of cowards,

this power of hate,

 

This power is sour,

This God is not great,

 

But this hoax of power is de-

flowered when...

you open your eyes

on those you despise:

 

The power revealed

is a lie told by men.

For Jeremy,

who reminded me of my history,

my anger, and my hope.
